So sorry to hear of Vivian's passing. My fondest memories of her was as she and George led our Youth Group at FBC. She was such a Godly role model as she influenced our young lives. Blessings to the family as you grieve her loss, but take joy in knowing we will all be reunited again in Christ!

Vivian was one of the finest examples of being a Christian I have known. Her love for her church family was evident in her years of faithful service. We will miss her, but rejoice that we will see her in heaven.

Our friend Vivian was a wonderful, giving and gracious lady. Our friendship goes back to 1955 for me and longer for my wife Patricia (Hillman). Over the years we would visit our home town and she always offered a room and fellowship during our stay. We had a wonderful and meaningful friendship for 62 years and will miss her so. May God take her in his loving arms and unite her with her husband George. May God bless her children and grand-children.
